Preston will assess strikers Jermaine Beckford and Paul Gallagher ahead of the home game with Aston Villa.
Beckford (hamstring) has been out for five weeks, while Gallagher suffered a dead leg against Wigan which ruled him out of the 2-2 draw at Birmingham.
Villa will be without suspended full-back Leandro Bacuna, who was shown his fifth yellow card of the season in the 1-1 midweek draw at Barnsley.
That was Villa's fifth straight draw, having won just once this season.
Nathan Baker, Rudy Gestede, Ashley Westwood, Alan Hutton, Jordan Amavi and the fit-again Ross McCormack are all options for boss Roberto di Matteo.
